My Goal was to be a Graphic Designer. In Puerto Rico, Graphic Design is not offered as a bachelor's degree but as a course, and it was not equipped with the necessary technology. My family couldn't afford to pay for my studies so I was depending on the Pell Grant to earn my degree. I was not conformed with the options I had in my home country, therefore, I decided to set my goals in the United States. I had done my research and decided where I wanted to study although, in spite of all my plans and effort to pay for tuition, including scholarships and loans, I was still not capable of affording it. My husband(boyfriend at the time), was starting his bachelor's in Electric Engineering when he offered a future with him. He said if he could find a job that could sustain us both, and I would be able to study, would I marry him. I said yes, he joined the *** and we moved to ***. Graphic Design is not offered here, but I enrolled in Communication studies, which prepares me for many jobs of my interest, for example, Teaching and Journalism. My goals as Graphic Designer are still in mind, I intend to pursue this career as a master's degree when we move to the states.
I should be considered for this scholarship because although the *** provides benefits like the Spouse Tuition Assistant, Is still not enough to pay for my degree. I am a responsible, hardworking person with leadership skills. My volunteer experience as a teacher's aid, shows I'm really dedicated and efficient in what I do, as well in my job at La Gurdia English school, teaching English to ***. This scholarship will help me pursue my current goal, move on to the next, and be a successful as a professional.
